Do Not Eat Margarine

There are lots of reasons to not use margarine and here is another

. It can leave you stupid.

As reported by researchers at the University of Auckland, youngsters who consumed margarine every day had definately lower IQ scores by the age of three-and-a-half than those who did not.

Also, youngsters who were underweight when born had scores that were even lower by the time they were seven.

The tragedy here is that margarine was touted us as a healthier alternative to butter. In fact, it may be the most unhealthy 'food' ever produced.

You sure couldn't tell this by reading the labels. They use remarks like '100% Natural' and 'Mother Nature's Own' and 'Heart Healthy' and others all over them. But they are really nothing but chemical concoctions fabricated in a laboratory.

The vegetable oils used in most margarine are hydrogenated to turn them solid. This turns the oil into highly unhealthy trans-fatty acids.

These fabricated fatty acids have been shown to increase 'bad' cholesterol (LDL) and reduce 'good' cholesterol (HDL). They have also been linked to inflammation, one of the major causes of heart disease.

There is another gem of a study about margarine. It's titled, 'Margarine Intake and Subsequent Coronary Heart Disease in Men.'

This research is backed up by the world-famous Framingham Heart Study. They studied people for 20 years and kept track of the number of heart attacks suffered.

These results are eye-opening.

As margarine consumption went up, heart attacks increased. As butter consumption increased, heart attacks declined.

That's not all.

During the second ten years, the group consuming the most margarine had 77% more heart attacks than the group eating none!

Not eating margarine may not just make you smarter, it may prevent you from having a heart attack or stroke.

Butter is a much healthier choice. But don't settle for just any type of butter. I suggest organic butter from grass-fed cows.

It contains both short- and medium-chain fatty acids. Which are easily converted to energy. This means that the fat in butter is less likely to be stored as fat in your body.

Also, it's packed with vitamins and essential nutrients your body needs.

And here is a little tidbit you probably don't know: Butter provides more vitamin A than carrots. It also provides vitamin E and selenium. These three nutrients help protect your heart from free radical damage.
